Namco's MotoGP games for the Playstation are better than THQ's games for the Xbox. Though I don't know if there going to be any new MotoGP games for the PS3, MotoGP 07 was recently announced for the XBox 360
Also the new SBK07 game was confined for all consoles and PC
The xbox game is better (IMHO) than the playstation because the xbox controller has a proper trigger rather than just a finger button. It lets you roll on/off the throttle and brakes easier.
The anologue controlls on the PS2 are fine for rolling on and off the throttle, as long as you don't swing on them like a retarded ape, like I have seen some people do. I watch my friend lean his whole body trying to take a 60kph corner at 200kph +, only to tell me that the car is no good, need something faster ?
Here are some of the games I have, they are so cheap here ($0.75 each).
TTSuperbike, Cresent Suzuki Racing, Motogp 3 and 4, Tourist Trophy, RS and RS2 motorcycle racing, F1 2003, Grand Prix Challenge, IHRA Drag Racing, Indycar Series 2006, Nascar 2005, WRC3, Colin Mcrae Rally 4, Richard Burns Rally, Sega Rally 2006, Grand Tourismo 3 and 4, Super Trucks. I have many more driving games, but the rest are not worth mentioning, as well as many other non racing games. What games do you have ?
Is anyone interested in having a Simulated racing championship ? Like I said in an earlier post, I'm in the V8 Supercar and DTM championships in the Simulations forum, so perhaps we could do something similar. We could do it with Tourist Trophy, or Motogp 3 or 4 perhaps. What are your thoughts ?
BTW John if you want a Tourist Trophy style game may I suggest Super-Bikes: Riding Challenge. It's similar to TT in concept.
It has about 40 bikes, the "basics" like Honda, Yamaha, Suzuki, Kawasaki and Ducati, smaller brands like MV Agusta and Triumph and some really rare bikes like Benelli, and you race on several real tracks like Laguna and Assen as well as the countryside and cities
I'm not sure this game was a worldwide release I think it was Europe only but If you can find it (especially for $0.75) then you should give it a go
Thanks mate, I'll keep an eye out for that. How does it rate for realism ?
I have a game called "TT Superbikes, real road racing", could this be the same game ? I thought of Motogp 3/4 and Tourist Trophy first, as I thought they would be games that most might have. I am just trying to find out if it would be worthwhile running a series at this stage, if enough people have PS2/X Box or PC game of the same, we could make something happen. Cheers
It's buzzing in here at the minute, haven't even had time to read all the threads like usual, great stuff!
Where are the Pckems ? The first race is only 2 1/2 days away. Remember the race is on Saturday this round. I hope we don't miss the picks.
wish i could join you but,too busy at the moment
WEll, after a bit of a panick, the Official Pickems are off and running. Thanks must go to Pino and to Puddlejumper for getting it up and running. Have a beer on us guys and thank you.
